Greenpeace climbers attached a new work titled Butchered by the renowned artist Anish Kapoor on to a Shell platform in the North Sea – the world’s first artwork to be installed on an active offshore gas site.

After securing a 12-metre x 8-metre canvas to the structure, the activists hoisted a high-pressure hose 16 metres above sea level. They then pumped 1,000 litres of blood-red liquid that seeped into the fabric, creating a vast crimson stain. The work is a stark visualisation of the wound inflicted on humanity and the Earth by the fossil fuel industry, and aims to represent the collective grief and pain over what has been lost as well as a call for reparation

vandal?
Typical green Peace pollution the Sea with paint doh
i wonder what all the people hating are benefitting from the climate change
If there was a list of people whose art deserves that kind of recognition, that rat Kapoor would be a footnote at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
And everything about this exercise used oil
Get a real job. Protest about how the west is raping third world counties using exchange rates as a weapon to buy real stuff we all need!!!
Funny how they used a boat using oil!
Deadly weapon is quite accurate
Bravo 🙌
Proscribe Green Peace
What a ridiculous stunt. 🙄 whoopee they got their photo op and sent it to the guardian.
Anish Kapoor is completely clueless. Ask Stuart Semple; he knows all about Anish Kapoor.
I bet all the boats they used to ride out to the platform were electric, right! 🙄 😂😂
But you know, after seeing that blood on the canvas, it really opened my eyes, I'm going to sell my gas guzzling Dodge Ram and start walking. 😂😂
Climate change? Who cares!😢
What makes this an Anish Kapoor artwork? Did he hold the hose?
That is a high quality protest.
Hats off etc.
Not gonna work, and alot of resources went into that. Lends to the perception that Greenpeace doesn't actually want to solve a problem, but profit off it. Like when a homeless charity spends money to advertise that they gave out some meals knowing full well those meals won't fix anything
What's the idea behind this action?
I hope the dye isn’t toxic
